Going vegan could stop deforestation and ensure enough food for 2050

The study then goes on to examine different combinations that would affect whether human demand could be met. Expansion of farmland, crop yields, and a variety of diets were considered. Of 500 unique scenarios, just over half (289) show promise of producing enough food while staying in the “zero-deforestation” parameters. But 100% of the predicted scenarios that excluded livestock would surely meet food demands. To put it simply, if everyone went vegan, we wouldn’t have to sacrifice another tree to ensure people are adequately fed.
